Man angry over Boston bombings breaks jaw of ‘f*cking Muslim’ Iraq war veteran

[The Straight Story]

A 39-year-old Muslim cab driver who served in the Iraq war says that an executive from an aviation company accused him of being a jihadist and broke his jaw in what activists are calling a hate crime.

Mohamed A. Salim told The Washington Post that Emerald Aviation President Ed Dahlberg attacked him after he picked him up at Country Club of Fairfax in Northern Virginia at around 2 a.m. on Friday. Dahlberg had been drinking and was told that he would have to finish his open beer before getting into the cab.

Salim recorded audio of the encounter on his cell phone.

Dahlberg can be heard asking Salim, who emigrated from Somalia, to define “jihad” and then lumping him in with “radical fucking Muslims blowing people up all over the world.”

“Denounce those motherfuckers now!” Dahlberg demands. “If you’re a fucking Muslim flying jets into the fucking World Trade Center then fuck you. I will slice your fucking throat right now.”

Hmmm what do you call it when you judge many people based on what a small minority of people do?

So now some call people who choose to be mulism jihadists, we call other people things like x/y/z lovers/nuts/humpers/psycho. When all the news feeds you is negative stories about a group that is all some people will see. Be if fox news or some other place.

Funny how some things are peachy keen but when you apply the principles to other areas people get all bent out of shape.

Folks just hate when you apply things like this and my body my choice to other areas...but then those people generally are not consistent in their beliefs anyway.
